Impulse offering Red Faction 1 and 2 with Guerilla reserves photo
Impulse loves Red Faction. The other digital download service is currently offering a hip pre-order deal for Red Faction: Guerilla. If you choose to reserve your digital copy, Impulse will give you original Red Faction (2001) and Red Faction II (2002). Both titles use Volition’s Geo-Mod technology to a startling degree: don’t be shocked if you accidently fall in a hole of your own creation.

Guerilla won’t hit the PC until August 25 of this year, so you have some time to consider your purchase. The bonuses, however, can be claimed as soon as your Impulse account has been charged.

I loved the original Red Faction, but I never got around to playing the immediate follow-up. It’s odd, really, considering how much I enjoyed the first game. I did recently purchase Guerrilla and I’ve loved nearly every second of it. It’s my pick for open-world action game of the year -- a definite can't miss title.

Red Faction was one of my favorite games of the last generation. The second was a huge let down.

Aye, the second one sucked hard. Love the first though and that's honestly not a bad pre-order deal.

I don't know why people say the second sucked. I loved it.

I remember Red Faction 2 being the worst FPS on the xbox1 I ever played. Those controls were so horrible!!!

Trust me, you didn't miss much by missing out on RF II except Jason Statham (pre-Italian Job) and Lance Henriksen voicing a couple of main characters. Sure, it was a decent FPS, but the story was crap (in my case, the voices and the characters mouths forgot to match up in some of the cutscenes) and they decided not to do multiplayer for some reason (just a "Bot Match" option for the PC. Lame!), which alone made me hate the game after I beat the story mode.

I agree with everyone saying RF2 was a huge letdown. The first one was amazing though.
